These types of porringers appear to be deep bowls, with the sides being nearly totally flat. Porringers are also used less and less, as a bowl will suffice for most people; porringers, however, are still circulated, mainly as a Christening-gift.

Wooden porringers are occasionally found from excavations; e.g. 16th- century example from Southwark and 11th century from Winchester.
